FCC Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Personal
Computer and Peripheral, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

onnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• C

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment has been tested to comply with the limits for a Class B personal computer and
peripheral, pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules. Only peripherals (computer input/
output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified (DoC) or verified to comply with Class B limits
may be attached to this equipment. Operation with noncertified (DoC) or non-verified personal
computer and/or peripherals is likely to result in Interference to radio and TV reception.
The connection of a unshielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate the
FCC Certification of this device and may cause interference levels which Exceed the limits
established by FCC for equipment.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products

With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the exchange of data
between the wireless access points (computers, etc.), offering the advantage that LAN connections
can be made freely within the range of the radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range, regardless of walls or other obstacles,
possibly resulting in the problems described below if the proper security measures are not taken.

• Contents of transmissions may be intercepted

Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and steal information contained
in the transmissions, including such personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit
card numbers, e-mail messages, etc.

4

Important Information

Important Information

• Improper intrusions

Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or company network
and steal personal or confidential information, pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect
information, rewrite information that has been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or
otherwise damage data or the system, etc.

Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security measures for dealing
with these problems. Making the proper security settings before using the products can reduce
the risk of such problems arising.

We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise when using the products
without making the security settings, then that you make the security settings based on your
own decision and at your own discretion.

Cautions on Usage

•

The USB Wireless LAN Unit is not meant for use with facilities or equipment involving the
safeguard of human life, such as medical equipment, nuclear facilities or equipment, aeronautical
or space equipment, transportation facilities or equipment, etc., or with facilities or equipment
requiring high levels of reliability. Do not use the USB Wireless LAN Unit in such cases.

• Do not use the USB Wireless LAN Unit near cardiac pacemakers.

• Do not use the USB Wireless LAN Unit near medical equipment. Doing so may cause

electromagnetic interference with the medical equipment, possible leading to death.

• Do not disassemble or modify the USB Wireless LAN Unit in any way. Doing so could lead to
fire or electric shock.

• Do not use the USB Wireless LAN Unit in wet or moist places, such as in bathrooms or near
humidifiers. Doing so could lead to fire, electric shock or malfunction.

To prevent damage due to static electricity, eliminate any static electricity from your body before
touching the USB Wireless LAN Unit.

• Static electricity from the human body may damage the USB Wireless LAN Unit. Before
touching the USB Wireless LAN Unit, touch an aluminum sash, a door knob, or some other
metal object around you to eliminate the static electricity.

The radio waves used by the USB Wireless LAN Unit pass through the wood or glass used in
normal homes (but not through window panes with built-in metallic mesh).
The radio waves do not pass through iron reinforcing bars, metal or concrete, however, so the
USB Wireless LAN Unit cannot be used for communicating through walls or floors made with
these materials.

1-2. Desktop Control Utility 1.0

Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is software that operates the desktop screen of a personal computer
at a remote location from the projector by using a network.

● A commercially available USB mouse is connected to the projector to operate the personal
computer.

● Suppose, for example, a PowerPoint file to be presented in a conference is saved to a
personal computer in your office. If this personal computer is connected to the projector in
the conference room with LAN when the conference is held, the desktop screen of the
personal computer in your office (Windows Vista/Windows XP/Windows 2000) can be
projected and the PowerPoint file can be presented by operating the projector. In other
words the personal computer does not need to be brought into the conference room.

Important

• You can use the Desktop Control Utility 1.0 to operate a personal computer located in a
separate room from the projector over a network. Therefore, care must be exercised to
prevent any third party from viewing the screen of your personal computer (important
documents), copying files, or turning off the power.
NEC assumes no liability for any loss or damages arising from information leak or system
failure while you are using Desktop Control Utility 1.0.

• In the Windows operating system, select [Control Panel] → [Hardware and Sound] →
[Power Options]. Set [Change when the computer sleeps] to [Never]. (in the case of
Windows Vista) This will disconnect LAN connection when the personal computer goes
in the standby mode while the Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is being used.

• The screen saver function is off while Desktop Control Utility 1.0 is running.

1-4. Viewer PPT Converter 3.0

Viewer PPT Converter 3.0 is software that converts files created with PowerPoint 95/97/ 2000/
2002/2003/2007 into an index file that can be displayed with the viewer function of the projector.

● When converting, specify a USB memory device as the destination to which the index file is
to be saved. Then you can easily make your presentation by simply inserting the USB
memory device into the projector (viewer function of the projector).

● If PowerPoint 2000/2002/2003/2007 is installed in your personal computer, you can activate
Viewer PPT Converter 3.0 from PowerPoint (PPT Converter add-in is automatically registered
to PowerPoint).

2-1. Supported Projector

User Supportware 5 supports the following NEC projector (as of August 2007)

NP3150/NP2150/NP1150NP Series

Reference

Some of software can be used with projectors other than the above projectors. For details,
refer to the help function of each software.

2-2. Supported the wireless LAN security type

The projector supports the wireless LAN security called WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK (encryption
type:TKIP/AES) as well as WEP. WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) provides stronger security
than WEP where encryption keys are automatically changed, also providing simple authentication.

● The projector’s WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK supports the TKIP or AES encryption type.

● WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is available only when “INFRASTRUCTURE” is selected in

“NETWORK TYPE” of the “CONNECTION” page.
